GISTMANIA has exclusively obtained photographs of things including posh vehicles recovered by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) from the house of a former Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai (retd.), being used by a proxy.
They include pictures of the safe where foreign currencies were recovered, Mercedes Benz 2022, Bulletproof G Wagon (voice customized), recovered from him valued at N150 million and BMW also recovered from him during the execution of a search warrant.
It was exclusively reported how the house was raided last Thursday by ICPC officials, who found over N1 billion and expensive vehicles said to be from funds meant to prosecute the war against Boko Haram.
On Friday, the ICPC confirmed the recovery of cash, vehicles and other items from a military contractor fronting for Buratai.
Azuka Ogugua, the spokesperson for the commission, disclosed the arrest in a statement on Friday.
Ogagua identified the suspect as the Managing Director of K Salam Construction Company Nigeria Limited, Mr. Kabiru Sallau.
It was reported how ICPC officials last Thursday invaded a property in Abuja, recovering cash, vehicles and wrist watches worth billions of naira from a man who said they belonged to Buratai.
Sources said the anti-graft agency was tipped off about the cash haul by the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) during a probe of Kabiru.
Subsequently, the NFIU transferred the matter to ICPC, which deployed its operatives to invade the property in Wuse 2 of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
